Just got a voicemail from "Jay" saying the loan I applied for had been approved by US Bank. I haven't applied for any loan. Whenever I get these type of calls, I always let them go to voicemail.
Caller called, named Michael from Los Angeles. Told me my computer had a problem. When I told him I wanted my name and number removed from their calling list, he said with one condition. I told him no conditions to do it now then he said he did not have permission. I repeated my request and hung up. So much for do not call lists.
That was foolish. Do you really think criminals abide by the Do Not Call list? Try something novel, like helping yourself. You always not answer calls when you do not recognize the phone number, or maybe get a call blocking device.
The man said he was receiving notifications from my computer that there was something wrong with my windows. Then when I told him there wasn't he got ugly with me, called me a liar and hung up.
Nutjob saying he was Bob from US Bank asking me if I wanted a loan. At least I think that's what he was saying as he was obviously talking in a metal tank with 30-40 others talking on phones in the background. Told him I did need a bank so I could pay off Guido, my drug contact. Said I needed $10 million for the kilos of cocaine I had to dump overboard when the Coast Guard intercepted me. Odd - "Bob" hung up on me!
